New TRAI Rules - Demonetisation like scheme

  • New TRAI Rules where one has to select a particular package is like a demonetisation scheme.
  • It has all rules which smacks of lack of individual freedom and "dictator like functioning".
  • I mean it is okay you select what channels you want.
  • But why bar service providers to provide packs of his choice.
  • That is the direct relationship between the seller and the buyer.
  • Customer is king and so the service provider can provide the best pack to lure the customer.
  • Why Govt. will dictate what pack is to be provided.
  • That means that Govt does not want people to watch certain channels.
  • Also channels which may be funded by Govt money can survive as mouthpieces of Govt and be "Free Channels"
  • While those channels want to do genuine business and earn money in the process will face ruin and starvation for themselves as people will not opt for those channels.
  • Even if channels as priced at 50 paise, people will still view those channels as "expensive" and will not opt for the channels.
  • Now Govt will effectively cut off the genuine channels which broadcast the truth and rely on paltry subscription and advertisement money.
  • The thief Govt will now give the public funds to those channels which toe their line and thus become "Free Channel" and people would be forced to watch those channels and digest whatever the Govt is p[providing them to eat which is crap and shit.
  • And people will eat shit and then go and vote shit leaders who will fight on the basis of shit issues and country will become shit.
  • I mean what was the urgency.
  • I know elections is there in 2019 and before that Govt is taking those steps so that peope will watch those channels and become blind and think everything is fine while the country is actually going to the dumps.
  • How bad is this?
  • This is worse than Communism and dictatorship.
  • People would be forced to switch to online platforms and will be forced to buy data bundles and thus benefiting handful of telecom companies and their multi billion dollar owners.
  • No way people can good content if they opt for only free channels.
  • This is too bad and dangerous trend in society.
  • Less Govt should mean more Govt.
  • But here More and More Govt is becoming a nightmare for the people.
  • Edit: Added on 7th March, 2019:
  • Why the hell there is no Annual pack?
  • I mean what is this Govt trying to do?
  • I may opt for an Annual pack and I may not watch certain channels for 11 months and then one fine day I may watch several hours of TV and recover all my investment.
  • I mean why no Annual Pack for God's sake? What is this Govt trying to do.
  • Maybe the Govt thinks it is greater than God.
  • It wants to monitor what people are doing every day (day to day). Cannot even trust them to be on their own and enjoy for a year in advance.
